Patrick I’m sorry you about whatever has gone wrong in your life.

I admit it … I’m not interested in fake debates over real sex crimes in England that happened 15 or so years ago. So Elon can suck up to MAGA and distract from his recent aspostasies.

I’ve added you to my mute list to save time. I tried because I thought you might listen. But nah … few do.

Dtrain79 out!
Yet you post on it....

I believe that they are uncovering some instances of cover ups of migrant rape in Europe. If this is the case, do we know how big the problem is.

It is kinda like the Biden Admin bushing the crime numbers and correcting them years later. Who really knows what the truth is?

The rape rings in England were real. Typically it was highly vulnerable young women (foster kids, runaways, etc.). People that the police weren’t making a priority because they didn’t care and to some extent were afraid of backlash related to going after immigrants (and frankly Britain has not fostered an open dialogue on the downsides of immigration, which is part of what’s spawning the entire debate).

There’s some definite domestic political implications in Britain too, I have suspicions what they are.

I also like Kimi Badenoch generally, but I have zero doubt she’s taking political advantage of a situation no one in the current government is really responsible for.

Crime numbers went up big in 2020-22, dropped in 2023, and cratered in 2024. There are good ways to track it that aren’t the FBI (whose system should be better going forward but had real problems a few years ago).

All of this related to Covid anyhow. Fortunately that is passed.
We've been back and forth about your using ESTIMATES OF ESTIMATES. There is NO national data bank using actual ALL crime committed in the ENTIRE USA.

"...should be better going forward ( There is nothing that shows that to be accurate.), but had real "problems" (italics added) a few years ago." (Italics added).

There is no factual evidence that Wuhan Flu was responsible for added crime. I suggest the reason is not specifically known, but I believe it is recidivism of released criminals and illegals.

Well, ya, you’re an idiot.

Drive 10 mph over the limit in Wyoming, and you’re getting a ticket. They have nothing to do and go after minor crime. Go an hour and a half south to Denver and you will never, ever get pulled over for a similar crime.

If people don’t think blue cities allow people to get away with more than small red towns, they aren’t willing to have a real conversation. Everyone who has lived in both urban and rural areas understands this.

Public marijuana use is another easy example. People aren’t getting arrested for smoking weed in public in big cities. Try that in a small town and you are getting arrested.
Public joint smoking is ANOTHER entirely different discussion to have, but not here on short posts !

Speeding is a problem for your DL and your ability to drive.

My best advice is not speed OR purchase and use a quality radar detector ! BUT the detector will NOT work if the Officer is paying attention with his type of speed detection; VASCAR (No radar), K-55 (has an off/on switch for emitting a detectable beam ), Visual (guesses from experience), stop watches (usually aerial), There's more !

My sneakiest was on the divided 6 (3x3) lanes on the Turnpike. Car on the inside was speeding 80 +/65, with radar det on (It was night and I could see the glow ) . He slowed and I switched my unit off. He sped up and I switched on, we went back and forth several miles. I finally stopped him and gave him a 85+/65 using certified speedometer, NOT radar !
